Claycastle (IRE)
Claycastle is a filly by New Bay out of the Araafa mare Abstain who was yet to win from five starts on turf and all-weather. She raced over 6f to 7f on three occasions, 1m to 1m1f once and 1m5f to 2m once, without placing. Her last run, at Tipperary in Jul 2023, was her first over hurdles when she finished eighth of 11 in a 3-y-o maiden. She reached an official rating of 65.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 58
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
